Rachel Winokur: An interior designer actually does a lot more than decorating. Interior

design actually goes from space planning, where are the walls located, window locations,

working with electrical plans and working really closely with the architect to make

sure that the interior space flows properly. So it's all of that sort of more somewhat

interior architecture elements but it's also all the way through to paint colors and accessories

and art and furniture and where the lighting is placed. It's also working on budgets and

project management and expediting. It's a whole lot more than just decorating, so there's

a lot of creative elements but there's also a lot of negotiating and organizing. So I

think that's an important thing for people to know - that interior design is a lot more

than just the creative aspects. There's a lot of those sort of business elements that

go along with it.

Marc Luber: Do you consider an artist?

Rachel Winokur: Absolutely. I mean I love the creative part. That's the most exciting

part. But it's really sometimes a small part of the process.
